For optimum performance with minimum power consumption do not shield the device or cover with any object. Covering the antenna affects signal quality, may cause the router to operate at a higher power level than needed, and may shorten battery life. 3
Radio Frequency Energy Your wireless router is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimized for best performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output is very low. Under poor network conditions the router transmits at a higher power, may get hot and have a significantly shorter battery life. Declaration of Conformity Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) We declare that the product detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories, conform with the essential requirements of The Radio Communications Standard (Electro-magnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act 1997. The highest value SAR result is 0.743 W/Kg at GSM 850MHz. N14945 RoHS Declaration (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) ZTE declares that the Wireless Router is free from hazardous materials and complies with EU directive 2002/95/EC (commonly known as the RoHS Directive) and the amendments. Wi-Fi Alliance Interoperability Certification The Wireless Router has successfully completed the Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability testing and is compatible with any wireless device bearing the logo as shown. The model number is MF60. Additional information is available at http://www.wi-fi.org/certification_programs.php is a registered trademark of SD Card Association. 4

4 Troubleshooting and Warranty Information Symptoms I cannot access the internet at all. The download or upload speeds are very slow. The signal indicator is always low. I secured my router and have lost my password(s) My battery has not charged while in use and connected to the charger Possible Problems/ Solutions Check the LCD display status. Make sure your SIM card is inserted correctly Check you have network coverage in your area. Check that your SIM card is active and enabled with data services. Please wait 1~ 2 minutes for the router to initialize. See Section 3.1 onwards to Connect to the router using a Wireless Network Connection. The speed is dependent on signal strength. Check your signal strength and network type. This indicates poor reception. Try moving the router to another location nearer the window. Reset your router to factory defaults to erase all stored passwords and encryption settings. From the powered up state: Press the power key and the WPS key simultaneously. In low coverage or high data transfer modes the internal temperature of the device can rise above 45 C. In these conditions the battery cannot be charged due to safety limits with Li-ion battery technology. 4.1 Warranty and Support Service All calls and support for PIN numbers, SIM card registration, account and billing information, network services and other general enquiries should be directed to your Service Provider.
